FAQs
What makes this collaboration special?
This is a limited-edition collaboration between adidas and CLOT, founded by Edison Chen, celebrating the 2025 Lunar New Year. It merges adidas' iconic design with CLOT's unique artistic vision.
What are the primary materials used?
The upper is made of a Core Black jacquard silk, complemented by Carbon leather accents. The sole is rubber.
How should I care for the silk upper?
Gently brush off dust with a dry brush. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth with a very mild soap. Avoid soaking and harsh chemicals to protect the silk.
Are these suitable for athletic performance?
While they share the Superstar silhouette, the premium silk upper makes them best suited for casual wear and fashion statements rather than intense sports activities.
What does the red and gold coin lace tassel signify?
The tassel is a symbolic element for the Lunar New Year, often associated with good fortune, prosperity, and celebration in Chinese culture.
Is this a unisex model?
This specific variant is listed as Male, but similar collaborative models may be available in unisex sizing. Always check the product details for the specific release.
Where can I find other sizes or colorways?
You can explore variant siblings listed for this product to find other available sizes and potential colorways or related models from the adidas x CLOT collection.
Troubleshooting
Silk upper appears creased or wrinkled.
Gently use a steamer on a low setting, holding it at a distance. Alternatively, lay the shoe flat and gently iron the affected area through a protective cloth on the lowest heat setting, avoiding direct contact with the silk.
Gold metallic detailing shows minor scuffs.
Try gently buffing with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that could further scratch the finish.
Lace tassel becomes detached.
Carefully reattach the tassel by threading the lace through its designated loop. If a component is lost, consider consulting a cobbler for repair.
Soles appear dirty and difficult to clean.
Use a specialized sole cleaner or a mild detergent mixed with water and an old toothbrush or magic eraser. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
